29+1

the following photos are taken by me and martin at my birthday party on july 28th 2012.
all images are clickable and are thumbnails of larger versions.


I made my very own punch bowl for the first time ever, it consisted of cranberry juice, orange juice, liquor, sprite, lime and pineapple extract with pieces of watermelon, starfruit and kiwi fruit in it.
I wish I had taken a better photo of the bowl, like a close-up macro,
but we were so busy with the preparations, it didn't even cross my mind at the time.




martin had made some delicious chicken pie and since we were a total of 15 people,
it was first come, first served!


my presents contained the following:
*two flower pots *one gift card at a media store *three lottery tickets ...


*a special NES controller with turbo buttons *an experience from liveit.se *a bartender kit for making drinks and *a deck of cards from Card Captor Sakura ...



... but the best present of all must have been this cake:

a cake inspired by the NES game Ufouria - one of my childhood favorites,
something I never could have dreamed of in my entire life.


It was actually made by one of my party guests, you can find more of her work here: https://www.facebook.com/Chokladrutan!

















when most of our guests had gone home,
we finished the evening off with some classic video gaming:

we defied sleep for as long as we could ... but in the end, we had to face the inevitable ...

the next morning, our last two guests went home,
and all that was left was lots and lots of dishes to be made ... !
